Nitish Kumar has praised Modi’s US visit, showing his devotion like other BJP leaders. He has described Modi’s visit as very successful and full of achievements. After the letter on temple construction and the praise of Modi’s US visit, the question is arising whether Nitish Kumar is doing all this or his close associates and advisors are doing it?
There is a buzz in Patna that those around Nitish have surrendered to the BJP and the central government. The reason for this is partly political and partly fear of agencies. A former officer is the most active in Nitish Kumar’s office these days and he is looking after all the work. The party’s working president Sanjay Jha has been close to the BJP since a long time and he is acting as a link between the JDU and the BJP.
So, it is possible that the influence of BJP is visible on JDU’s political line because of him. The way Union Minister and former national president Lalan Singh has taken a U-turn and started praising BJP and Narendra Modi, it seems that Nitish’s entire ecosystem is working according to BJP.
